I have a downgraded 2.00 (its now 1.50) white PSP and I was wondering if anyone's released a program that enables it to play US UMDs.

I dropped my American 1.50 PSP (and it broke :mad: ) and now I can't play my Family Guy UMD (its the only UMD video disc I own).

I ordered a White PSP off of eBay (from Hong Kong) and it play(ed) US UMD movies just fine until I ripped a piece off the mother board trying to install PSP iTrip. Now it definitely plays UMDs fine b/c it has the motherboard from my black (US) PSP in it!

That won't work for two reasons

1) The firmware doesn't control the UMD region playback.

2) There isn't a US 1.50 firmware download (since it is the original US launch firmware, much in the same way as there isn't a way to downgrade to the 1.00 firmware (since it was the original Japanese firmware). Its only possible to downgrade to the Japanese 1.50 firmware (which I've already done).
